My tip for the week has to do with flash photography. I take pictures of my kids whenever I see them doing something I want to remember...and those moments aren't always in fabulous daylight conditions! As I've played around with my camera, I've amde some discoveries about how to make evening shots of the kids look less "flashy" and washed out.
When taking a picture, it's great to make your subject fill the whole frame, but if you're using a flash, make good use of your camera's zoom feature! My camera (a small Canon point n' shoot) has a zoom function, and an additional digital zoom. I've found that by using the flash, and the zoom together, I can get decent shots without a big white shining in the middle of the subject's forehead!

If you must capture memories after sunset, make the best of the situation!
Great tips! I do need photography help! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
